This was a solid stay - I would give it a '4' but the bed had a big depression across the middle, as though it had been bent in half and left like that for a long time. I don't have back problems but it was sore the next day. With that said, front staff were very nice, and the Mexican restaurant was unexpectedly delicious! Two more things, when I entered the room, the trash can that would sit under the vanity was on the counter next to the sink, ick. And the bathroom trash can was sitting on the edge of the bathroom with a plunger in it, double ick. And the toilet had a ring around it. Whoever was cleaning the floor left in a hurry. I will never stop wishing that hotel guests coud have more self-awareness about not slamming their hotel doors so loudly that it wakes the dead. Come on people!

The photos on expedia for the rooms make them look much better than they are. Our room was shabby, bathroom old, carpet coming apart in places, just felt dirty. But, the staff were good, made a point of making you feel welcome etc. The restaurant was shabby and felt dirty, the food was average..had fajitas and the meat was very tough..youre robably not going to get much better in this out of the way town

A quick stop over on the way to GBNP. Cute town. Hotel was decent enough. Nice room with thoughtful amenities. Bed mattress could have been rotated as it was against the wall. The side opposite the wall was quite low in comparison to rest of bed. It tilted downward. Had to scoot to center of bed as to not roll toward edge. Shower has NO lip, unable to move the shower head to prevent water from getting all over bathroom floor. Biggest issue was having to carry our luggage up the stairs to 2nd floor. They have rolling luggage carts, however, no elevator to get it up the stairs? If there is no elevator, they should offer to help guests up the stairs with their luggage.
